About This Space

Matador Centre is a B-grade retail space development located in Cape Town CBD. The building features fibre connectivity, backup power, 24-hour security and easy freeway access.

226m² Retail to let in Matador Centre in the Cape Town City Centre, with excellent natural light from its wide glass frontage. We see this space working well for a retail business focusing on consumer goods, apparel, or sporting goods, needing prominent street visibility and a versatile layout. This unit offers a substantial footprint for your business. The street-level entrance features a wide, floor-to-ceiling glass frontage, providing excellent natural light and strong street visibility. The exterior facade presents a modern aesthetic with sleek black aluminium frames. Inside, the space transitions to a lower level via a prominent curved wooden staircase with a dark balustrade. The main floor area is covered in geometric beige and brown ceramic tile flooring, showing some signs of wear. The walls are painted a neutral colour but have some scuff marks, indicating a need for a refresh.

The plastered ceiling is at a good height, approximately 3 meters, contributing to the spacious feel. Lighting in the main lower-level area is provided by functional but somewhat dated fluorescent tube fixtures, creating some uneven illumination. The overall condition has a dated feel, suggesting it would benefit from refurbishment to align with a modern retail concept. This open-plan layout offers ample space for extensive retail displays or numerous workstations. The gross rate for this retail space is R170/sqm per month, bringing the gross monthly rental to R38,420. The location in Cape Town CBD, near the V&A Waterfront, suggests good foot traffic and accessibility.

Cape Town CBD Overview

The Cape Town Central Business District remains the beating heart of the city's commercial activity. Stretching from the Foreshore and Cape Town Station toward Company's Garden and the East City, the CBD combines corporate towers, courts, government buildings, heritage offices, retail streets and a growing creative-services layer.

For retail occupiers, the local stock profile includes high-footfall street retail and convenience retail around St Georges Mall, Long Street, Bree Street and the station precinct. Q1 2026 public office-node data shows Cape Town CBD vacancy at 11.4%, above the 6.0% metro average, while better-located and upgraded buildings continue to draw tenant interest. Source basis: Q1 2026 SAPOA / MSCI / Gmaven office-node summary; figures should be read as asking-market indicators, not guaranteed achieved rentals.

Public transport access includes MyCiTi bus rapid transit - multiple routes, Cape Town Station (Metrorail), Golden Arrow bus services and Minibus taxi routes serving the City Bowl and wider metro. Road access is via N1 (Northern Suburbs), N2 (Airport & Eastern suburbs) and M3 (Southern Suburbs). Secure basement, structured and municipal parking is available, but bay ratios and monthly costs vary sharply by building. The area is especially relevant for Financial services, Legal firms, Government departments, Professional services and Creative and technology firms.
